The Exchanged Princess

decision of Rica (part 2)

Happy reading ....

🌿

Rika's forehead wrinkled to see two teenagers walking up to her. Raydita with Annisa?

"Hi, Tan. What's up?" asked Raydita who immediately pulled the chair and sat down without permission. In Raydita's heart was relieved that there was no Rida there.

"Good day, Doctor, ma'am" said Annisa, who was sitting next to Raydita.

"Siang, you two shopping? Just two?" tanya Rika probing.

"No, Mom. The three of us, the same Mr. Leo," said Annisa innocently while pointing at the burly man sitting not far from them.

Rika glanced at the expressionless Leo, then stared pushyly at Annisa. Realizing that, Annisa took the initiative to give them space to talk.

"Dit, I'll order ya. What do you want to eat?"

"That package, that burger," pointed to Raydita. Annisa nodded and got out of the chair.

Rika stared fixedly at Raydita who turned to Annisa. Look at the boy's eyes like never before.

"Ehem." Raydita looked at Rika.

"What is aunt talking about?"

"We, auntie wants you to persuade Rida." He said to the point.

"Deferring? Should mothers sulk be persuaded as well? Heh, like a child," decih Raydita.

"Listen Aunt, Dita. Rida is your mother, your biological mother. It is your duty to serve Rida. Ka-."

"Tante, before we talk about my duties as a child, how about we talk about her duties as a mother? Before I was this big, I was a baby, right? toddler, kids. Who takes care of me, raises me, is my mother. Mama Rianti's. Not that woman" Raydita said.

"Aita!" rika Bersama.

"It's true, right? Animals love their children" delik Raydita.

Rika sighed and said, "Rida is sick, and she doesn't want to undergo treatment."

"Then? What's the deal with me?"

"Please persuade her to go for treatment" Rika flatly asked.

"Why should I? She's not there for me, and then auntie wants me to be there for her? Heh, how selfish." Delicateness.

"What happened in the past, is not entirely wrong Rida. But also the wrong aunt," said Rika hesitated.

"meaning?"

"Rida never knew where you were. Aunty who approved Adi's proposal at the time. Even if Adi doesn't take you, Auntie intends to give you to the orphanage. Without Rida's knowledge of course," said Rika who tried not to look riled up.

Raydita fell silent, staring blankly at the woman who was confessing sin without guilt. The orphanage?

"Although you are present from an illicit relationship, but Rida has no intention of aborting you. Your presence is a disgrace to our family. Put you in an orphanage, the best solution then. You can still live a decent life, because I will bear all your needs there. Who would have thought, Adi came up with a crazy idea," said Rika.

"It was easy for aunty to say all that. As if not the life of Dita who was playing aunty," said Raydita flat.

"Why are you upset? Look at the ending, you live with Adi and Rianti who love you very much. You should thank aunt. If the aunt doesn't approve of Adi's idea of exchanging you for her, you won't be what you are today" Rika said with an eye gesture toward Annisa who was at the other table with Leo.

"It's not a aunt, but Dita should be thanking Nisa and Mama. If he wasn't born the way he was, and you didn't reject him, maybe you wouldn't have the slightest intention of changing us."

"But if the aunt doesn't agree to it, it won't happen."

"Tante's right, papa can trade Nisa for anyone. Huft, you adults are only old because of age, but do not think about what will happen in the future. It sucks."

"It's up to you to think anything about aunty. But auntie asks, think about what aunt talked about before. Rida has stage 3 cervical cancer, and she needs to be treated as soon as possible."

"Heh, even today's aunt is still selfish. Auntie talked to me because she wanted to. Let him feel the consequences of his own actions. He likes to change men. He also 'do it' in adolescence, if now God punishes him, yes accept it," said Raydita.

"You-." Rika looked at Raydita. However, he must admit that Raydita's words are not entirely wrong.

It is true, cervical cancer takes a very long process, between 10 to 20 years to become a cancer. And Rida's lifestyle so far, could be one of the causes. However, Rika does not want Raydita to judge her beloved sister.

"Rianti and Adi have educated you very well. I believe they instill empathy in you just as much as Adi likes to help others. Please help aunt, Dita. Only you can persuade Rida. He really wants to be with you. Auntie sure, she'll listen to you," Rika pinta.

Raydita should have laughed, seeing the person who used to want to throw it away now begging her. But strangely enough, Raydita is not like that. She just kept quiet while turning her face away from Rika.

"Auntie wait for your decision as soon as possible. Please." Rika intends to hold Raydita's hand, but Raydita quickly moves her hand away. Rika could only look at Raydita and say goodbye to her, then just passed by without paying attention to Annisa.

Seeing Rika has left the table, Annisa quickly approached Raydita while carrying a tray containing Raydita's order. Without further ado, Raydita grabbed the food and devoured it.

Annisa just shut up. He didn't want Raydita to feel awkward about him.

"What do you think of Lo?" raydita asked quietly while chewing her food.

"How's what?"

"No need to pretend not to know," delik Raydita.

Annisa gave a smile, then said: "You have to persuade her."

"should?" raydita asked while frowning.

Annisa nodded quickly.

"Why should?"

"Because of her, your mama. We are obliged to do good to our parents, no matter how they treat us. Moreover, Miss Rida, God has already punished her. Pity him, if you also punish him. What else I heard, everything that happened without Ms. Rida's knowledge. So he could have been a victim like us, too" Annisa said.

"What do you think so?" Annisa nodded for sure.

"Eitherway. I'll think about it later. My appetite's getting bad because of all this." His grunts.

"Ah time anyway, that burger is over," seduced Annisa while making a smile.

"Gue's hungry, Nis. Especially should think. It takes extra energy" said Raydita. "Have you been abis? Very fast," added Raydita.

"I'm hungry too, Dit. You walk around here, tired. Where are we going?"

"That's not how much. Not all of our shops are open. When shopping, I am not tired. How about gamezone?"

"okay."

Raydita finished her lunch. In his mind, he began to consider Annisa's words.
